About

Quick facts: The central square has been operating for over 400 years as a hub for social and political gatherings. Its surroundings feature iconic buildings such as the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Santiago City Hall.

Highlights: Every Sunday, the square transforms into an artisan market with over 200 stalls where folk music can be heard and local flavors can be enjoyed. A tower with 17 bells marks the hours while tourists and locals mingle in its tree-lined square.

Insider tips

  • Носете удобни обувки за ходене по калдъръм и сядане на площадите.
  • Най-добрата точка за снимки е от стълбите пред Катедралата.
  • Избягвайте обедните часове през уикенда, когато е много претъпкано и слънцето напича силно.
  • Опитайте сергиите с традиционна храна, разположени на изток от площада.
